GamePedia
GamePedia by Bruji is an application to manage your console game collection. It has the standard three pane MicroContent client interface. It knows hand-picked and smart lists. And it has two predefined lists: borrowed and wish list. The columns in the Items-pane can be set by the user. Any new Item can be search for at Amazon and the found information can be used to populate the fields of the Item. Any field can also be changed by the user.
GamePedia is the fourth application, which allows to manage one's library. The others are BookPedia, DVDPedia and CDPedia. All the applications are very similar. The main change seems to be the fields of the Item. GamePedia recognises several fields which are specific to games: platform, difficulty, last played, multiplayer, etc. The user can further define his own fields and add a list of links to each Item. The latter is interesting for adding walkthrough and cheat pages. The links are viewed in an embedded browser. Naturally the user can also add his own review and rating.
GamePedia allows a user to export his data as internal format, csv, tab delimited or html. And it can upload to .Mac or iPod. Also interesting is the statistics given for a selected list.
